A Life Beyond Limits novel Chapter 338

Wilson paused for a moment, then added, "I had a dream last night—dreamed that an angel fell right into my arms. And now, I think that angel was you."

But the clumsy attempt at romance only made Bella more uncomfortable.

"Sorry. I'm not your angel. If there's nothing else, I'll leave. My boyfriend is waiting for me," she said, clearly trying to make an exit.

Seeing Bella trying to leave, Duncan quickly stood up to block her.

"Don't go. Wilson might have been a bit too straightforward, but he really likes you. He just got out of a relationship, so maybe you could chat with him for a bit."

Wilson also quickly apologized, "What I said earlier was a bit much, so let me make it up to you. I'll take a drink for my mistake." With that, he raised his glass and drank it down.

Seeing that Wilson seemed sincere, Bella didn't want to make things awkward, so she reluctantly sat back down.

Just then, Jack walked in and noticed two guys hovering around Bella. His brows furrowed slightly.

Seeing Bella's anger had subsided a little, Duncan smiled and asked, "Bella, would you like a drink?"

"I'll have some juice," Bella replied.

Duncan took a bottle of juice and opened it for her, handing it over with a smile.

At that moment, Wilson suddenly started talking to Bella again. Taking advantage of the distraction, Duncan slipped a small pill into the drink and shook it before passing it to Bella.

"Thanks," she said, not suspecting anything.

Just as she was about to take a sip, Jack's voice suddenly called out, "Belle."

Bella turned around, and her face lit up with surprise. "Big Bun!"

Seeing Wilson trying to turn the tables, Jack didn't hold back, speaking bluntly. "You were making moves on my girlfriend, and you tried to drug her drink. Now, you're pretending to be innocent?"

Bella leaned into Jack's embrace, watching Wilson fall silent under Jack's questioning. A warm feeling spread through her chest as she realized how powerful and cool Jack was.

Thank goodness for Jack. Otherwise, she might've fallen for their trick.

"Damn it! How dare you slander me! You'll have to apologize!" Wilson shouted, trying to cover up his guilt with anger.

Duncan, too, stood up and angrily shouted, "Who are you? How did you get in here?"

Jack remained calm, responding, "Let's focus on the drugging first, shall we?"

At that moment, Hannah, the president of the Entrepreneurs Association, arrived, her face serious as she asked, "What's going on here?"
